Warning signs for notorious hill

A highly-anticipated traffic detection system to warn of blockages at Sutton Bank is now in operation. The notorious steep hill is a well-used route for those going to and from the coast, and has an average 120 blockages by HGVs every year. Two interactive signs, on Long Street in Thirsk and on the A168/ A19 roundabout on York Road, will warn road users of problems and to avoid the route.
